omg. amazing. the last 60% of the book i read in one sitting. i was literally on edge the entire time.

i love lev so much. the tattoos he got and his idea on how to grab the moon was amazing. i love him so much as a character. and hayden’s radio show was so unique. i’m so heartbroken over sonia

the reason it is not 5 stars is because it was a tad unrealistic with who died and who should’ve and etc.

also because i feel like the author could have made risa more fluid

defo a few parts that were too good to be true and unrealistic, which is why it lost 0.5 stars but otherwise JUST AS AMAZING AS THE FIRST TWO!! <333

1.0

simply, this book is not good. it is gross, and should not be romanticized. there is a murder mystery, enemies to lovers, and so much more that it all kind of spirals together. but i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t intrigued enough to read the second one. mostly for my powerpoint. and it gets more than 0 stars bc there were 2 quotes i liked and the age different between the characters was normal.

5.0

edit: i have changed my rating to 5 stars bc i have not stopped thinking about this book since i finished it.

celia and evelyn’s relationship is so beautiful and flawed and perfect. evelyn as a bi women is written in such a comforting way and is so well done, and in that regard i feel so spoiled to have read this book because some of her thoughts put my own into actual words

OG: such a good book oh my god… always love wlw representation but

ESPECIALLY the bi women rep and how hard evelyn pushed for that and to not be put in a box, i feel so seen 🥹 there are not a lot of books with strong, bi main characters.

also the pro-sex and whatnot aspect of the book was so well done… especially regarding women’s sexuality because i feel like it’s still a taboo topic unforch. the ending was a bit predictable but otherwise i haven’t read a book this fast in FOREVER

there were definitely some slower parts that were difficult to understand but considering i read the last 350 or so pages within the last day, i’d say it was a really good msytery novel that KEPT me on my toes +

i love anastasia, at first i didn’t but after learning more about her UGHH she’s so sweet
